Letter: Starve or compromise

Today's (Friday, Dec. 7) Naples Daily News carries a commentary by Dan Thomasson in which he suggests four ways of "solving" the problem we are facing in the immediate future.

I would like to add a fifth solution: Lock all congressmen and senators in a safe place (Congress?). Lock the doors and windows; no food and only water; no reporters; no TV crews; no aides; no donors; no outside contact.

Let them starve or learn to compromise. If a valid acceptable compromise is reached, open the doors and tell the anxiously awaiting world. Tell the media how you were able to reach a compromise.

I am sure that within 72 hours with no food and no audience we would have a solution.
